For the convenience of local pet owners, the HOA has make an agreement with the City of Austin to provide a Mutt Mitt glove dispenser at the lamppost on the Southeast corner of Brazos and San Jacinto. The HOA pays for the Mutt Mitts in the dispenser. The HOA will notify the City of Austin regarding failure to remove pet waste near the Railyard, as it is illegal (potential fine $86) to not pick up your dog or cat waste anywhere in the City of Austin. The relevant City Ordinance states:

"§ 3-3-7 Defecation by Dogs or Cats.

It shall be unlawful for any person to fail to promptly remove and dispose of, in a sanitary manner, feces left by a dog or cat being handled by that person on property, public or private, other than the premises of the owner or handler of such dog or cat."
